Summer in the Triangle

Summer has arrived! Time to eat peaches, relax by the pool, head to the beach and fire up the grill.

The much-anticipated warm-weather months are also the perfect time to get to know the Triangle area better. Have you been to Jordan Lake? Taken a ride on the Pullen Park carousel? Seen the N.C. Symphony’s open-air performance at Koka Booth Amphitheatre? Caught an outdoor movie at the Apex Historic Depot? You should do all of those things and more.

No matter where you live in this region there are awesome area parks and attractions nearby, not to mention the ample amount of events planned on any given day or night.

Put on your dancing shoes and get ready to shag under the stars at North Hills’ Midtown Beach Music Series. Featuring performances by many of your favorite beach bands like the Band of Oz, Liquid Pleasure, and the Embers, you’re going to want to get up and groove to the music.

Make way to the ballpark to cheer on the Durham Bulls minor league baseball team in the heart of the burgeoning American Tobacco Campus. Family-friendly and affordable, you’ll enjoy much more than a box of cracker jacks as you cheer on the home team.

Dix Park will host its first outdoor concert event with performances by Enenra, ZenSoFly, Wayleaves and The Vedlt on Saturday. Those who attend will be invited to take part in the featured Field Day Three-Legged Race on the lawn and enjoy fare from local food trucks and craft breweries.

Can’t make it this weekend? Considering taking part in the fun on July 22nd or August 26th.

Food truck fun awaits you on Academy Street in Cary this Sunday! Drop by to get your fill of meals from restaurants on wheels including Cousins Maine Lobster, Buddhalicious, Pie Pushers, Morfa Empanadas and many more. Local breweries will also be on hand serving up their finest crafts as well.
